  • Video:Videoediting/ dubbing/ remakes for dummies
  • Explanation of how Chameleon will function for creating Localized Curriculums
  • Explain the steps, resources and work (Man-hours) needed to create a localized Curriculum as has been done in Spanish. This will enable countries who may have funds / or resources to choose this alternative, rather than wait for the real curriculum mapping feature

  • create a good checklist for new countries ( steps to take to get a flying start to project)
  • Create/ find a video( approx 50-120 secs) that can be used as crowdfunding or marketing video blank, for all countries, to possibly be voiced over, or that works as is...
  • What is the most useful/ free tool chain to handle on boarding/volunteer/ donor/ partner/school/ teacher management: Signups on homepage ( capture) & enter data into CRM based( free?) system & send automated welcome mail & followup mails& send newsletters/ hangout meeting bookings etc. what else do we need? keep track of crowdin ID and ( maybe too hard: deliveries)... ( Answer could be: mailchimp+ civicdm or something like that, if it works)
